Peterborough United Post Match Thoughts

[millertop]

Hes a weird fish is Mattock. At times he looks a class above this level. I've seen him deliver some of the best crosses in all our time at the NYS. He gives us natural width, being left flooded and is a genuine full back (so no square peg, round hole thing going on).

And yet, there are times where he just seems to zone out. In such moments he'll either do something totally stupid like stick one on his opponent, or just become a zombie and let players run by him or (equally frustrating) make no attempt to prevent a cross into our box.

On balance, hes more good than bad (and to reiterate, when hes good hes sublime at this level). That said, making him captain earlier in the season was akin to asking paul merson to open a new ladbrokes!

I would have probably agreed with last season but this one Mattock has been more useless than any other player imo
Definitely laughable making him captain, what went through Warne’s head is a mystery to everybody surely

" my boys " Lindsay & Lamy not forgetting Hinds. I've watched sky/quest highlights saw someone suspiciously looking like Lamy going down the left twice. Wasn't him who crossed the ball that was either hand to ball or ball to hand against them.

I’d love Lindsay to be in games but Lamy will have to have patience, might have benefited going out on loan

Have to disagree with you frog.

Mattock was terrible yesterday. He couldn’t pass he got out jumped by the little number 10 on at least 3 occasions. He was constantly caught out of position.

Very rare I will criticise any player on here but he was just woeful.

Not sure tbh why we didn’t play Lindsay yesterday.
We will lose him soon I was speaking to someone in the know yesterday and there is a real possibility he’s going back home he’s not happy about the game time at all.
I think we will lose a really good player imo.

Lindsay he's a far better long term prospect than Crooks. Get Jamie starting don't want to lose him. We've got to go back to playing 3 in midfield too open if not. Lamy I wasn't there but from little I saw from highlights nice footwork to get through for cross for our pen' appeal.

So he will want us to terminate his contract? Load of rubbish if you ask me, he’ll get his chance but obviously will have to have patience, personally I’d love him to be in side but atm it’s hard to get him in but I think he would have been a better choice than Wiles in midfield when Crooks is out.

Hope alls ok with Crook’s Dad

No Lamy he's our player. Use him when right. Can't work Warney's train of thought out. Obvious a player like Lindsay isn't going to stay to be sat on the bench. Can anybody tell me why McDonald got on, even why he's on the bench. What's he done while he's been here? Give Hinds a chance.

I couldn't believe your post asserting that "the Millers looked better when Lamy came on" after watching 86 seconds of highlights, which consisted of the three goals, plus a couple of other chances. "The Millers looked better when Lamy came on". It harks back to your days when Vaulks was man of the match every week before the game had kicked off. You had decided. The sooner that you realise that you know less than nothing about the game, the better it will be for everyone. You have irrational obsessions about every Rotherham player who has ever kicked a ball. I recall you stamping your feet when Ihiekwe finished his loan spell at Tranmere, and clueless Warney put him straight into the team. Every hour of every day we were hearing how useless he was. And yet still no admission that gru the great got it wrong, as you invariably do.

PS. Can anyone explain to me how he has deduced that the Millers looked better when Lamy came on based on this. Barmy.

Watching quest EFL last night, even Ian Hollaway said the Millers should have had a penalty, a poor ref does us again

Lamy wasn't at all bad but didn't really have that much impact. (He was just a few yards from where I was sitting when he came down the wing so had a birds-eye view.) He made that one good cross. At least two others were attempted but were blocked by a Posh defender and went out for a corner (which I suppose is good but I would rather see the balled delivered.) He was also easily outmuscled when he tried to dribble the ball forward a couple of times

What I would say is that he should have come on much, much earlier. Given that Ogbene was being double marked, there was huge scope for using the opposite wing. Adelakun was not having a good game on that side and Lamy was a reasonable choice to replace him. Another ten/fif**** minutes on the field might have seen him settle down and have more of an impact. He's a promising acquisition.

Not the first time that Warney has brought MacDonald on as sub in the last few minutes when we have been trailing. MacDonald is probably less likely to score a goal than anybody in the team other than Iversen. If you can make sense of that decision ...
Wasn't at the match yesterday, but from what I've seen of Lamy so far, he's skillful, but a bit lightweight. Warney needs to get him on the weights in the gym to build him up a bit, so he is not out-muscled as easily. Lamy is still a good prospect though, and has an eye for goal at reserve level.

Geetarman I was banned on here when Ihiewke got back in the side. Ever since he's been one our best players. I admit when I get it wrong. With Lamy hope I've got it right he's as good as I think he is. Be good for the club.
